Indeed. JMenuItem, JCheckBoxMenuItem and JRadioButtonMenuItem do pretty
much the same thing as JButtons, JCheckBoxes, and JRadioButtons, but they
are intended to be used in a menu. So I think they make a much better
starting point. You can always customize them to get the effect that you
want.

Did you place the table in a menu connected to a JMenuBar, or in a plain
JPopupMenu? I am not sure why they are different, but as you have seen,
they are.
